Do you have any spare change?

hi webeishere...well before none..but lately maybe a month ago i started it..and its good to know that pennies will turn to such great amount when save and kept in one place...so what do you think you will going to do with that coins?

I have pennies in several containers around the house, even coffee cans. I have a bank full of pennies that I use as a door stop. I have change in my purse and it makes my purse heavy. I need to get this change together and see what I have.

I guess we are below average here then. We only have one small glass container with a few pennies in it. I would estimate that it has around 40 cents in it right now. My hubby is the only one that puts money in there and it is always pennies. I stash my coins in my car so I have them for drive thru windows :) Have a great day!

I have a little dog that is a bank that some kind of candy came in. I have a bunch of change in it. I'm not really sure how much is in there though. I recently took out enough to go buy me some postage stamps with cause I didn't want to have to use my cash to buy them. My son also has a stoplight that stands up that holds change and he has a bunch in there but I haven't counted to see how much was in it. We just usually give him change to put in it when he wants some. Also, his grandparents give him money to put in it to. But I'm sure we have over the $94 that the news report was talking about.

We have a huge Seagram's 7 whiskey bottle. I got it at a garage sale one time and we put change in it. My husband usually has a pocket of change that he puts in there at least once a week. I am not sure how much it is there, I haven't even looked at it in a long time.

Yes, now ,I always collect the change ,because it is also money!

If I had the camera handy I could have taken a picture of the child sized whisky bottle we use for our change! It is almost empty at the moment (other half stole the contents darn it Lol) but not the first time we have caashed it out just before a holiday and gotten as much as £200 from it. Unfortunately we did not drink the contents of the whisky bottle first - it was a promotional item given to me by my boss whilst I was still working! xxxx

I always pick up pennies, so end up having too many for my change purse. I toss them in a miniature blue box (recycling box) until there's room once again in my change purse. I think I have about $1 in pennies in the box at the moment.

Well, I guess that's how unorganized most people are. But here in my house, we don't have those lying around because we have a place for all the 'change', it's right in front of the main door where everyone goes through and passes by the change tray and they put their change for the day there. I guess this is how it goes because we need change a lot here in our country. We directly pay for jeepney and transportation fares and most of the things we buy don't have exact prices, hehehe.. that's why we need changes.

I can't afford to save change these days. I always used to and would regularly empty everything into pots for the purpose after each shopping trip. That has stopped recently and I gather them together to go out to DO the shoopping now. Oh the times they are a changin'. Oh and by the way, here the beggars don't ask for your small change anymore. They ask directly 'Have you got a euro?'!! Inflation I guess

I save it and then put it in my savings account, it's like found money to me. I keep in a little crock that my grandma used for brown sugar. I've got to stop using my debit card so often and start dealing with cash again so I can accumulate more coins!

That is something we have always done is save change. I have this big green bottle that we save our change in. I don't know how much is in it now as it is about just under half full. The last time it was about 1/4 full and there was a few hundred euro in it. Our aim this time is to try and fill it and then cash it up. It is always good to have some change saved up for those rainy days.

YES!! LOL I love to save my change, I have done so since I was a teenager, my mother started me on that when she was a waitress and saved up to buy my brothers mattress and our school supplies at the beginning of the school year... so this has always stuck with me... I didnt make as much change as her of course, but twice a year I would roll my change and get anywhere from $75-100 and this I would use to go on vacations with my friends and boyfriend (my hubby now)... and he started doing it when he saw how much I would save up...LOL

wow... haha! that's a lot. you plan to spend theM?? coins are just heavy to take everywhere with you. there are coins everywhere here in the house in different places but i have no idea where to find them. probably under the couch??

well I have nothing, there is never enough money here for us. I wish things would change for us soon.

i normally keep small change to give it to my young schooling daughter as her lunch money.. whatever change i get during the month - i'll throw it into the 'lunch-money box' on my dresser. i rarely count them, but i think i have about $30-$40 in it... that's the only place i keep my change.. and each my children has their own savings box.. and i think they each manage to save about $5-$7 a month..

Yes I do save change I have been saving it for ages, I need to get rid of it really and put it in a bank account but the thought of counting it just puts me off!! I reckon I have about £200 in change at the minute, not sure what that is in dollars probably about $300 or so. I have a jar that is over half full of pound coins and then a baby milk container that is full to the brim of other coins. I am thinking now of putting it towards the cost of christmas as hubby was made redundant five weeks ago and as yet there is not much signs of a job so it would serve me well to bank it somewhere and forget about it til christmas just in case.

I have stashed away only 50 cent pieces, the gold looking coins that are dollars, and $ 2.00 bills..i give them to the Grandchildren when they lose a tooth..my stash is probably way over that amount..I also have a silver certificate $ 5.00 bill and every quarter of the USA on a board, plus some silver dollars for my kids.

I also have a stash of coins lying aournd my place. They come helpful when I need a few loose change for my fares. But now I do keep this change in a piggy bank. Im pretty sure I will be quite surprised if I noticed this piggy bank full. I also pick up loose changes I whenever I see one and keep them in my piggy bank. I know this these coins will go a long way when they are accumulated.

I am completely broke so I have already searched my room for spare change and have verified that I indeed have $0.00.
